Yes, it is right. You create a really light Thesaurus.php that is run on every page view, and a bigger file SpecialThesaurus.php which is only loaded when Special:Thesaurus is requested.
You would add the form elements into SpecialThesaurus.php, at the execute method. You can change the $wgOut->addHTML() to show whatever do want. You don't need to hardcode the html, though. You can use Xml::Element() for that.
Thanks for the response. Now, I have a clearer picture on what I'll be putting on those files especially on the SpecialThesaurus.php file to where the major elements are placed. And also, I now know that there is no need to hardcode the html for I can use the Xml::Element()although I am not yet familiar with the xml tags. I'll read tutorials on xml.
Questions: > On $wgOut->addHTML() - You said that I can change $wgOut->addHTML() to show whatever I want. So, what are the things that need to be considered so that I can use $wgOut->addHTML()? Is there syntax to be followed for making it? > How can I test if my SpecialThesaurus.php is working? Is it like typing the URL (http://localhost/wikibits/index.php/Special:Thesaurus) in the address bar? > I wanted to create a new tab for the SpecialThesaurus page. Where and how can I create it so that it will be included among the page menu tabs - page,dicussion,edit,history, delete, move, etc? What is the proper page to where I can put it or shall I create also a new special page for it?
